Overview

Learn the Lingua Franca of Programming.

Description

A language like C++ gives a great introduction into what being a computer scientist is really about. It may not be as glamorous a language as Java, Ruby etc, but it allows you to gain a core understanding of important program features such as pointers and memory management. Even if it is not a language you plan or want to use for the rest of your life, you will appreciate it in years to come when you start to find your desired programming path. C++ is the intellectual predecessor of Java and C#.

There are Infinite reasons explaining why learning C++ is Important, Some are:

  • Nearly all of the books in science and technology have their code samples written in C/C++.
  • C/C++ compilers are known to produce more efficient machine code than any other compilers (with fortran perhaps being the exception).
  • There are billions of lines of code already written in C++. Your possibilities for code reuse are huge!
  • Well defined ISO standard that is updated by a group of experts from time to time. (It's not a "frozen" language).
  • Supported on most platforms, from microcontrollers (actually C language) to cellphones.
  • Virtually all of the operative systems are coded in C s
  • It's like learning Latin to understand English better. A lot of languages were modeled on the syntax and constructs, for example C#, Java, JavaScript, etc. Picking up C++ will give you a head start by teaching you the common denominator between all those languages.
  • Understanding the things that are abstracted away from you in other languages (pointers, basic data structures, garbage collection) theoretically makes you a better programmer even if you don't directly tinker in the details.
  • It doesn't happen every day, but one day you are going to need to connect directly to a C++ program API from your high level language. It will help if you have at least a passable knowledge of C++ when this happens.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
